     You can call me Hal.

When I first found out I was purchased by 95.9 The Rat, I was pumped! I thought, man what a great gig. I get to hang out in the Rat kitchen with all the DJs while they get their morning coffee. Oh, you need a little milk? Here I am! Gotts would keep is beloved Miller Lites ice cold inside me until he got off work at 10am. Oh, there's Betty Rocker herself, Rockin' Robyn Lane putting one of her famous homemade cakes in me to keep chill. I'd probably have to have an entire shelf dedicated to Jimmy Steal's hot sauces, and maybe another for Carl Craft's BBQ creations! I thought, maybe they'll even let me be on the radio!!!

     Well being the Rat's official fridge for the past 3 years, let me tell ya pal, ain't so hot.

Sure, I get to hear all the office scuttlebutt, what new music is coming out, what bands just announced they are coming to play Jersey, what Eastside Dave is planning on smokin' this afternoon.  Yeah that's all the stuff you would expect as an office refrigerator. However, there are a couple of things I wasn't expecting to be... A garbage dump and a science project! You heard me pal, and I have the photos to prove it!!!

     These people are P-I-G-S!

Open cans, 3 month old fruit, pizza from 2021, a half peeled orange that looks like the ass of a cat,  and the yogurt? EXPIRED, EXPIRED, EXPIRED! Well I have had enough! Now the world will see how cold and dark my insides really are. They ask if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Well if a fridge is alone all day with a 20lb frozen turkey from Thanksgiving 2 months ago in his freezer, does he not cry? I ask you! The answer is found in my frozen tears.

     There's no one to save me now.

They open and shut me, pretending not to see the black banana. Oh I'm sure one of them is gonna just slurp down that Christmas eggnog any day now. Meanwhile my frustration, and mold grow.  Why couldn't I just have been a dishwasher like my brother George? Sigh....

Editor's note: Be on the lookout for more blogs from Hal, and perhaps other radio station appliances in the near future.

Believe it or not, Jimmy’s first job was overnights at a Christian Radio Station. He claims he got into radio because like Rocky Balboa once said, “cause I can’t sing or dance.” Jimmy loves to write about all local happenings, especially around his town of Toms River. Favorite Pastime (other than masturbation, of course): Cheering for the Yankees, and crying for the J-E-T-S!!! Favorite Food: Hot Sauce…I collect ’em! Favorite Drink: PRUNO…look it up, if you dare! Favorite Movies: The Exorcist, Planet of The Apes (the original), To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie Hall, and of course GF 1 & GF 2…I heard that’s how the real fans refer to them. Favorite Movie Line: easy…Murry-Caddyshack-“big hitter, the Lama”…f#$*in’ riot! Best Rat Rock Bands: STP, VH, ZEP, PEARL JAM, FOOS, PEPPERS,AC/DC Favorite New Bands: Glorious Sons, Rival Sons, Dirty Honey Most Embarrassing Moment: the moment my mother reads this shit! Best Day: I know a lot of folks say this, but it’s true: the day my little girl Jynell and my boy Big D were born! Next to that, it would have to be the day I was baked on earth day in Central Park and met Keefer Sutherland…baked too, I believe.
